Elisa Del Prete Biography & Facts

San Marino participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy, with the song "Stripper" performed by Achille Lauro. The Sammarinese broadcaster, San Marino RTV (SMRTV), organised a new national final concept entitled Una voce per San Marino ("A voice for San Marino") to decide their representative. The event consisted of 299 emerging and nine established artists competing over a three month period from December 2021 through February 2022 for the opportunity to represent the nation at the contest. The winning entry "Stripper" was written by Lauro, Daniele Dezi, Daniele Mungai, Davide Petrella, Federico De Marinis, Francesco Viscovo, Gregorio Calculli, Marco Lanciotti, Matteo Ciceroni, Mattia Cutolo and Simon Pietro Manzari. To promote the entry, Lauro released the song as a digital download, lyric video and a music video consisting of the performance of the entry at Una voce per San Marino. A promotional tour was initially scheduled, but appearances were subsequently canceled due to the rise in COVID-19 cases occurring at the time. San Marino was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 which took place on 12 May 2022. Performing during the show seventh in the running order, "Stripper" was not announced among the top 10 entries of its semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that San Marino placed 14th out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 50 points. Background Prior to the 2022 contest, San Marino had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 11 times since their first entry in 2008. The nation's debut entry in the 2008 contest, "Complice" performed by Miodio, failed to qualify for the final and placed last in the semi-final it competed in. San Marino subsequently did not participate in both the 2009 and 2010 contests, citing financial difficulties. They returned in 2011 with Italian singer Senit performing "Stand By", which also failed to take the nation to the final. From 2012 to 2014, San Marino sent Valentina Monetta to the contest on three consecutive occasions, which made her the first singer to participate in three consecutive contests since Udo Jürgens, who competed in 1964, 1965 and 1966 for Austria. Monetta's first two entries failed to qualify San Marino to the final, however in 2014, she managed to bring the nation to the final for the first time with "Maybe", placing 24th. Following four consecutive non-qualifying years, San Marino qualified for the final for its second time in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019, where Serhat represented the nation for his second time and finished in 19th place in the final with "Say Na Na Na". For the 2020 contest, Senhit and her song "Freaky!" were to represent the nation, though following its cancelation, San Marino re-selected Senhit for 2021. Her song, "Adrenalina", which she performed alongside American rapper Flo Rida, qualified for the final, eventually placing 22nd out of the 26 entries. San Marino RTV (SMRTV) confirmed the nation's participation in the 2022 contest on 5 April 2021, at the same time also revealing that they intended to select their entry through a national final entitled Una voce per San Marino. Before Eurovision Una voce per San Marino On 5 April 2021, as part of the release of a 2021–2022 tourism events calendar introduced by the government of San Marino, SMRTV confirmed the nation's participation in the 2022 contest and the introduction of Una voce per San Marino ("A voice for San Marino"), a new national final format to select the nation's entry. This marked the second time that the nation had opted to select their entry with a national final format, the first time being in 2018 with 1in360. Una voce per San Marino was held between December 2021 and February 2022. Interested artists could apply to partake in the event through the official Una voce per San Marino website, which was open for submissions until 8 January 2022. There were no restrictions on the nationality of the performer nor the language of the song, though all artists and songs had to comply with the rules of the Eurovision Song Contest as set by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). At the close of the application window, all selected artists were divided into two categories: Emerging and Established. Emerging artists attended an academy in the Teatro Titano in the City of San Marino from 13 to 17 December 2021 and 3–11 January 2022, acting as preliminary castings. Then, from 13 to 17 February 2022, a series of semi-finals decided the nine Emerging acts that moved on to the final. Established artists, numbering nine in total as well, were directly invited to the final by Media Evolution SRL. Aside from the first place act becoming the Sammarinese representative at Eurovision, the first, second and third placings of the final were also awarded €7000, €2000 and €1000, respectively. Voting for the Emerging artists shows was performed by a seven member jury. The first four members of the jury for this category, announced on 16 November 2021, were Emilio Munda, Roberta Faccani, Roberto Costa and Steve Lyon. The remaining three jury members for the category were announced on 31 December 2021, and were Maurizio Raimo, Nabuk and Mimmo Paganelli. Emerging acts auditions A submission period was opened by SMRTV on 22 September 2021 for emerging artists and composers to submit their entries. By 16 November 2021, the broadcaster announced it had received over 200 applications, particularly from Germany, Russia and Sweden, but also from other European countries, the United States and Australia. Near the close of the submission period, SMRTV reported that they had received 585 applications overall, out of which 299 were selected to take part in the emerging acts round. The emerging acts auditions took place between 13 and 17 December 2021 and 3–11 January 2022. From December and over the course of two months, the 299 participants took part in the auditions (though only 282 were listed). From the emerging acts round, 60 international entrants and six Sammarinese had qualified for the semi-finals and they were revealed on 17 January 2022. Highlights from the auditions were then broadcast on San Marino RTV over three consecutive Fridays from 14 January to 28 January 2022. The six Sammarinese acts selected from the auditions were Alibi, Elisa Mazza, Garon × Duan, Giada Pintori, Ginevra Bencivenga and Giulia Vitri. The 60 international emerging acts and their country of origin were as follows: Semi-finals The 60 international emerging acts competed across three semi-finals from 13 February to 15 February 2022 and three acts qualified to the final from each respective semi-final. The next day, a fourth semi-final consisting of the six Sammarinese artists took place, with an additional three acts qualifying to the final. A second-chance round on 17 February 2022 allowed a further four of the previously eliminated .... Discover the Elisa Del Prete popular books. Find the top 100 most popular Elisa Del Prete books.
